Hilarious...the way I understand it is that the snow did not collapse it but the sky crane ripped it when removing the snow. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

If that's the case, they are lucky it hasn't come down on a crowd. Perfect timing though. Now the Vikings will be screaming for a new stadium. Went out Xmas shopping today. Very busy out there. Allot of humongous snow piles all over.

I've been playing with my new toy and decided to do some GPU crunching on GPUgrid. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why I keep getting the message "No usable GPUs found". Googled for 2 hours before I read a snippet on this forum where they say "You can not run BOINC as a service while GPU crunching. Re-Install, go to Advanced and make sure it is not set to install as a "Protected Service". What the....can't run as a service?  So on these GPU grid sites, do you think they tell you this up front?!? or am I blind  . That's always a possibility.       Let me know how the GPU crunching goes. Am researching for GPU's now to get into this. The card you got looks to be a screamer.

Are they really that much better or is gpu grid padding the points?  Does not seem right.For this EVGA GTX 470 it came with windows software to control the on-board fan. Keeps the GPU at 68-70C. Now I need to figure out if there is software to do this in Ubuntu. |

BOINC for GPU crunching can't be installed as a service on Vista/Win7 because of the way the video drivers/security are handled. I have the same problem with Linux now. How do I get this to work? Any one? I'm sure it's a permissions issue but I don't know what to change. The documentation on the gpu crunching sites is pathetic. |

Let me know what you find out about ubuntu. Don't want to go back to windows. My guess is uninstall/reinstall but put it on your desktop instead. Not sure though. That's allot of points for 3 wu's. How many can you crunch at a time? Is there software for ubuntu to control the fans?

I found the fix for "Your computer has no NVIDIA GPU" here--> http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2316#19002 Seems like a stupid bug. Open terminal & type $ sudo /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart Every time you restart Ubuntu. Still searching for a fan speed controller for the GPU. If nothing else I will try running the windows exe in Wine.  I won't go back to windoz  |

I hope I'm not annoying anyone by me posting so much this weekend.
 Here is an image of my Nvidia control panel in linux:  This is under full load crunching a GPUgrid.org work unit. The fan is at 52% and the GPU is just entered into the yellow running at 80C. So I'm going to run it like this. I will continue to look for some way to control the fan. I would like to get the temp to 70C like it runs in windows. |

Post away. That's what this forum is for. Nice to see it's up and running in ubuntu. Did you post on gpugrid for any answers? I know under widows you can adjust setting but is there software for ubuntu to do this? Weird your temps are higher under windows.
